That had similarly crossed my mind.
I've seen it done on another forum - their "general chat" equivalent was hidden temporarily to impress upon people that posting was a privilege not a right.
vBulletin actually allows fine-grained control. For example, offenders could be barred from one section but permitted in others, if the forum is set up that way, which isn't hard to do. Those penalties can be temporary, too. There are other types of sanctions and controls as well.
